Nice one SB
,now where have I seen that board before
Good on ya's Pupster & Sir Lancelot,I wish I could retire
Another great session here today. Much like Pup, the forecast was completely wrong and although the waves weren't the biggest, they were some of the cleanest I've had in a while. Could have easily called in sick today.

Who's doing your reports up that way boys. Coastal watch?
Can't be that hard to write 2-3 ft. Light offshore wind early going east later in the day.
I'll have a crack at tomorrow.
Same as today but a bit smaller.

Cheap at twice the price. Can't beat local knowledge.
Coastalwatch is terrible down here. I use the weather on here and swellnet.
Our local news also has good wind and swell charts which are really helpful. Think they are from the BOM.

Yes the whalebone snapped SP, one freefall take off too many. Its taken a hammering over the last 2 or 3 years. Can't complain....
......did another dawny today & got a few hours in before the wind kicked. Good to see the swell stuck around another day. Probably no choice but to ride the 666 tomorrow, I don't think there will be much swell left. Its been a fun three weeks, only had about 3 laydays 
Buggger. Snapping a board sucks. Especially if they are a good one.
My surf today was kinda like being lost at sea for an hour. No real banks, weird swell direction and a light onshore made it hard to find a decent one. Managed a few and jammed a lovely turn in the shorey so called it a day.
Looks like more swell later in the week. Hopefully the wind doesn't ruin it.
Yep real sweet & sour experience. I was planning on getting a summer log, but now chasing either a summer log or a performance board. Would generally prefer a performance longboard, but given its mid Nov I'm happy to go either way. There were some great deals around last weekend I was showing a mate who bought a new board. Unfortunately most within my budget sold. Sux losing a board, buying something diff is always exciting...sweet n sour

Most stuff originates from BOM.
Predictwind do detailed modelling of Port Phillip Bay, based on one station in Avalon.
I've paid for Coastalwatch Pro or whatever, Predictwind similar.
Now I just go and look......
Nothing beats having a look with your own eyes, cams are not good at depicting size etc... A couple of weeks ago I thought it was cranking, I raced down there & the waves were only just over waist high....the 2 people in the water were a couple of short ass primary school hot rats
Did you see a swarthy bloke with Brylcreamed sandy coloured hair who goes by the nameplate of Asea in the carpark trading pornography Old Malligan
Forecast below zero & we got knee to waist glass clean peeling off sliders - water bloody magnificent & had the company of about 10 Dolphinos surrounding the board for about 20 minutes or so saying their greetings

Nice little peelers early at DB on the "new" Tolly Point break model..
It's seen plenty of waves but rides nicely..when the rider is tuned in properly
that looks unreal SB. love Tolhurst's boards. it's been rubbish down here the last few days so just been keeping fit and paddling the river. Lots of fish around. Will have to get the fly rod out. Wish the surf would improve. I'm on an 8 day break

Few youngins in the pod Albury - the older ones were nudging them close to me looked like they were teaching them what's safe & what's not ... they were fishing in bloody shallow water most of their bodies were exposed at one point
Agree that Nothing beats looking yourself but i don't really use them for that. I looked 3times a day for 25 years so pretty easy to make a good guess what it's like today or I just ring Dad to check.
I use them if I want to know what it will be like in a few days or what my favourite waves 2hrs away might be like. Heaps better then reading a synoptic chart like we used to.
With the modellling stuff Guess it comes down to how good the model is and here swellnet ****s on Coastal watch for accuracy.

Yeah unfortuneately mate
it's called infanticide, and even we humans have done it for millennia, the worse kind is called 'sex selective infanticide' , and with todays technology (Ultrasound) there are some places in the world where it is still practiced today. So if a child's sex is wrong, they need never even be born
But you can even experience a strange form of it in your own workplace or even in a sporting team, where a new dominant leader is appointed to replace a previously much loved and successful team leader
How many time have you seen it happen that the new leader wants to completely purge the virtual DNA of the old leader and replace it with their own
No surf this morning .... it was flatter than an obct fart in a well kept & nicely fitted out Chinese Van - however on the brighter side of sublime while being within the edgier dimensions of terrific and also speaking of the big handsome frothering bastard of a thingy .... he is on his way to the Banana Coast very shortly

Reminds me of an old saying obct..
"The New broom sweeps clean"..have seen it in action several times and unfortunately it happened to moi..I had stayed around long enough to be considered ..dust..

It will be such a shame if there's no surf and all we get to do is drink and talk about everyone behind their backs

That would be great mate, not sure if there will be waves or I'll be able to surf but coffee sounds good
I'll introduce you to Lacey or even better I can bag him behind his back Let me know when your on the GC.
